Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should definitely rule out asthma or bronchitis in your case.
So get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) first.
If this is normal then no need to worry for asthma or bronchitis.
Sometimes undiagnosed stress and anxiety can also cause breathing difficulty.
So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs (propranolol and flunarizine combination) also.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
